That sucks Chris. When I first came down here last year to take care of my parents, I changed my voter registration so I could vote last Nov, and I immediately got called up for jury duty. Lucky for me, Hurricane Mathew struck, and my jury duty was cancelled. The two times I had jury duty in Brooklyn really blew.

Have you seen the sad Jell-O at the grand jury building in Downtown Brooklyn? It’s pretty amazing. They just pour Jell-O straight into one of those small salad containers and let it set that way. That’s it. Saddest Jell-O.

@ChrisfromDC: Can you paint a picture—with words—of what your bureaucratic limbo is like? It might help share the beige.

I missed the jello at the Downtown Brooklyn grand jury. I only got chosen twice in a four year period. The first one was only two days before I was dismissed. The second was 9 days before it was declared a mistrial.

@northguineahills: Ha! “You Got Lucky” babe! Anyway, I have been on two criminal and one civil. The two criminal cases were nasty in their own way. The civil case was dismissed just as it was going to trial. Which is a common thing: The lawyers pump their chests, threaten this and that and then someone plays chicken.

I pledged yesterday, before the official beginning of the marathon, apparently, and I don't think my donation is reflected in the progress bar on the homepage. Should I raise a holy stink or just roll with the punches? (Leaning towards the latter.)

I don't get colorblindness. So you can't tell red from blue or blue from red? Is that it? Can you not edit the coloration in photos? If you take a photo on your photo, do you just avoid messing with the saturation and tint at all?

Also, I don’t know what kind of smartphone you have but under iOS on an iPhone—or iPad—there are options specifically for color blindness in the user interface that I find to be a very quick and concise way of seeing how other people see things.

Still hard to understand if you can see all colors, but it’s a nice way of getting an idea.

Does anyone here use Spotify Premium? I found out today that Groove is discontinuing their service in a few months, and that I can transfer my current playlists to Spotify.

Well I guess those sort of things happen. May I be able to buy FMU love with some moolah ? Wait, I pay for FMU love? Exchange money for the Lovin'? Hmm, that sounds familiar.

I won't be able to afford swag for life or a mouse pledge until the March marathon. Only having a month of paychecks out of the 42 will do that. I will, however, be able to get a tee-shirt w/ my next paycheck.

I feel like I should have done the mouse pledge back in February. Instead I pledged more that amount and now I'm stuck not really able to donate. nooooo, noooo, please nooooooo

I thought the heart was just something Ken did, he gave them out to people that asked on the chat board during his show.

@Ike - Boombox icons will be returned - they came down in protest of Heavy Metal being played every Tuesday at 11 but I am negotiating a resolution because I am a lover not a fighter so stay tuned and those boomboxes will be back pronto buddy

-Ken:
But way to assume the worst Ike. In all seriousness, some type on code made most but not all of the boomboxes come down, but they will all be restored later today. The hearts were supposed to come down, as those are pledge drive by pledge drive and we just officially closed the 2017 marathon and started the Year End 2017 campaign.

Oh I forgot. Next Tuesday, all of our transmitters at 91.1, 90.1, 91.9and 91.9 need to go off the air from 10:55 to 11:05 am for routine maintenance. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Ha ha @Ken@11:33, you shouldn't have said anything -- you almost just shamed me into adding another few bucks a month there so I could get my Liz Berg Memorial Boombox Icon back, but now I'm just like, eh, whatever. (J/k, I totaly gotta get that sweet turtle shirt.)

@bk845: Funny, I just used Birdhouse in Your Soul in a music set I did for a group dance on Friday. Hadn't thought of it in ages, but I recognized a similar beat in the song right before it and the blend was irresistable.

Took my 24 year old daughter to see Richard Thompson at the City Winery a while back, she fell in love with him in general, and 52 Vincent Black Lightning in specific, had it running on Spotify for quite a while (I have the album, but she just uses the service...)
